Welcome to ADHD Founders! Join Jesse (author of "Extra Focus"), Marie (founder of Llama Life), and Sharon (founder of Shelpful) for some real talk on building businesses with ADHD brains.

In this FIRST episode:

• Meet your hosts, as they share their (brief) company-founding stories as well as their ADHD stories.
• Hear tips on ADHD diagnosis, advocating for yourself, and embracing ADHD as an entrepreneur and creator.
• Some quick stories of ADHD both helping and/or hindering us in our journeys so far

Fave quotes:

• Sharon: “I'd rather start a company than book a dentist appointment.”
• Jesse: “If it's silly and stupid, but it works, then it's not silly and stupid."
• Marie: “Every feature I put in was something I really needed but couldn’t find anywhere else.”
